Gotta love windowlicker, how can you not? So original and
crazy,equation too, tho the last track is just some novelty
track rich put on because he couldnt put it on any previous
releases, not his best work...

One of my fav ep by Richard D. James

Windowlicker track is wonderful and I like this AFX style
very much, I hoped he would release more stuff in this
musical direction.

Nannou is another great track, while I don't love Equation
very much but it's full of mistery with the hidden face.

Also the video is really funny and it's another masterpiece
by C. Cunningham

nah the best bit is when the voices are by themself and you
think the track is going off, but starts up again....

"a porky prime cut" is what it says on my vinyl.
great release ! windowlicker is one of my fave aphex
tracks though i hadnt listened to it for at least a year i
put it on last night and fell in love agan with it!!
love the pics on the vinyl...
"simon thc exchange" or something like that is also written
on it.

i knew aphex before windowlicker, but i was into slightly
different music...then ut happened - windowlicker, i was
like what the fuck is this - totally funky and different,
nothing like anything else i heard before...so ofcourse that
got me into aphex totally
i still love it and nannou is beautiful as well!
+ the killer video...brilliant!

windowlicker is an awesome track. crazy danciness with an
afx attitude, altho the video is kinda pretentious, with afx
bascially saying "see? i can make a rap/dance song, make fun
of it but still make it better than anything anyone else has
done!"

nannou is an equally good tune, and the video for it is
absolutely beautiful.

equation is ok, but a great track, kinda seems like a
precursor to the letdown that was smojphace

this was the first IDM track I ever heard, and that got me
into this kind of music. I loved it immediately!

Windowlicker is a crowd pleaser. My friends who can't stand
anythign else by aphex twin always get down to this track.

Im an old timer. First aphex for me was On. When it was
released, but Windowlicker is my favorite aphex track
probably.

Windowlicker, n00b!

I'd love to have the Digeridoo single on CD. I never even
saw that anywhere, not once.

The Japanese release is excellent. Windiwlicker demo is
really interesting.

with just normal untouched beats

i just have to say that this release is so fucking awesome

although equation could be a bit less abstract in parts, a
tad more "groovy" like the "rubbish" track he played on
radio.

play it at 33rpm people. it sounds almost (triple)x-rated
then.
